My subdomains for things like that all go through a reverse-proxy (Caddy) where I terminate HTTPS, which makes things simple, though I still don't use includesubdomains because it just seems too risky.

I went ahead and ran the tests myself, using hyperfine. In fact, I reproduced the benchmark described on the lsd README directly, except using `ls -FG` instead of colorls. Benchmark #1: lsd -la /etc/* Time (mean ± σ):

That's actually a really good point, I never thought of it that way.

I haven't really been following along very much. I take it from your comment that await in Rust will not automatically propagate errors upwards like it does in JavaScript? So you have to use `foo.await?` in the normal case if you only

What does an async block evaluate to? Does that wrap up the contents in Kotlin's equivalent of a Future? In any case, I'm a big fan of the idea that async/await is just syntax around something that can be done without the syn

It was glossed over why `await expr` isn't in the running; I take it it's because the language team doesn't like the necessity of adding parentheses any time you want to do postfix expressions on the await results e.g. `(awai

by eridius 7y ago
That conflicts with `.await` + the ? postfix operator. Namely, if `.await` returns a Result, the ? operator could then be used like it is in code today. In fact, this was referenced in the article: > The primary argument in favor of pos

The problem with this approach is merely adding the `async` keyword to a function would then significantly alter the way code is interpreted inside of the function. It seems like a non-starter to me to have adding the `async` keyword cause

Verify-on-install doesn't protect you against addons that steal someone's signing certificate to push out an update, because by the time the stolen certificate is discovered, it will have been installed on a bunch of users' s

I don't understand why for-profit prisons even exist. It just sets up perverse incentives and encourages unnecessary incarceration.

Passing both a &[String] and an index into the function is duplicative, because a slice already has an index in it (the start point). It would be cleaner to just use `tokens.split_first()` to yank the first token off the list, which giv

You think Epic is the only game store that buys exclusives? Sony and Microsoft have both been doing this for many years for their platforms (whereas Nintendo prefers to simply develop their own exclusives instead of paying third parties for

In general, you cannot commit antitrust violations against the monopoly player (well, unless you're abusing your monopoly position in a related market, but in that case it's the market where you have the monopoly that gives you

Not verifying emails is unfortunately extremely common. That said, if someone made an account using your email, can't you trivially "recover" that account and change the password?

Because they'd get bad PR for yanking that stuff? It's not like it costs them a noticeable amount of money to maintain the existing services for a single game for customers who've already purchased it.

The monopoly store doesn't need exclusives, they're already the monopoly. And back when Steam was first starting out, there weren't competing storefronts that they could demand developers withhold their games from.

I can't think of any "feature" Steam has added since cloud saves that have impacted me. Any feature development seems to be focused on VR (I don't have PC VR, nor room at my PC to use VR) or streaming (I don't want

Every single case of third-party screen replacement for iPhones I've personally ever heard of has resulted in disaster down the road for the person who got their screen replaced. And that was before the edge-to-edge iPhone X screen.

I am honestly surprised that HN's reaction to "Apple should provide tools and training to third-party shops" is to be downvoted. I have yet to see a single person explain why an end user should be opening up their own iPhon

Nobody is saying you can’t fool with it. But if you “fool with it” then you shouldn’t expect Apple to provide support for you.

You’re allowed to open up your phone today. Nobody is saying the police should knock down your door because you opened your phone. What’s at stake right now is if you open your phone, you void your warranty and Apple will not provide any mo

End users wouldn’t be using them. I’m all for Apple providing support for third-party repair shops. I’m against Apple being forced to allow actual end-users to open up and “repair” their phones, because the latter is not going to end well.

OtherOS was officially removed due to security concerns. I'm not sure how to find this offhand but my recollection is that OtherOS was used to facilitate jailbreaking the system. Its function wasn't to prevent jailbreaks but to ge

Sony removed the ability to run Linux many years ago, after it was determined that it was impossible to prevent a jailbreak as long as the second OS feature existed. I’m not aware of Xbox ever supporting this.

So wait, he did "an immense amount of pen testing", while at the same time this was something he snuck in at the last minute on a whim? Something doesn't add up here.
